   <p align="justify"><strong>Acerca de los cursos: </strong>Intermediate Law Skills</p>
   <p align="justify">Estos cursos tienen como fin   introducir a los alumnos a la gram&aacute;tica, estructuras y vocabulario   t&iacute;picos del &aacute;mbito jur&iacute;dico. Es ideal para aquellos que, tras haber   cursado niveles en esta Direcci&oacute;n u otro centro de idiomas, tengan la   necesidad de leer y comprender material jur&iacute;dico redactado en ingl&eacute;s.   Por otra parte, no es el prop&oacute;sito de este curso formar profesionales o   expertos en el sistema jur&iacute;dico del &quot;Common Law&quot; sino afianzar el nivel   de idioma a trav&eacute;s del an&aacute;lisis de conceptos b&aacute;sicos dictados en los   cursos. El material a utilizar y la metodolog&iacute;a de trabajo permitir&aacute;n la   transici&oacute;n entre un curso tradicional y uno de estas caracter&iacute;sticas.   La bibliograf&iacute;a comprende obras de los pa&iacute;ses del sistema en estudio con   ejercitaci&oacute;n adaptada a los textos. Se trabajar&aacute; la comprensi&oacute;n de   textos, el reconocimiento de estructuras, vocabulario y usos del   lenguaje del derecho. S&oacute;lo se prev&eacute; a este nivel la producci&oacute;n b&aacute;sica   por parte del alumno. El curso contempla la evaluaci&oacute;n constante   mediante la ejercitaci&oacute;n y una evaluaci&oacute;n escrita final en base a la   ejercitaci&oacute;n del curso.</p>
   <p align="justify"><strong>Requisito para la inscripci&oacute;n</strong>: haber concurrido al test de nivelaci&oacute;n</p>
   <p align="justify"><strong>Nivel de ingl&eacute;s requerido: </strong>intermedio alto</p>
   <p align="justify"> <strong>About the courses:</strong> &ldquo;Intermediate Law Skills&rdquo;</p>
   <p align="justify">The purpose of our courses is   to introduce students to the grammar, structures and vocabulary that   are typical of the language of the law. It is ideal for those students   who have attended courses in this Department or other language centres   and need to read and understand texts drafted in legal English. It is   therefore not our purpose to train students to become professionals or   experts in the Common Law but to consolidate their level of command of   the language through the practice of the basic concepts delivered in the   courses. The teaching material to be used and the methodology applied   to the work in class will help with the transition between a traditional   course and one of the characteristics described herein. The   bibliography includes textbooks from the country whose legal system the   courses are based on; and together with the bibliography there are sets   of exercises specially prepared on the texts. The courses focus on   reading comprehension, the identification of structures, vocabulary and   usage of the language of the law and basic written production. Students   will be tested throughout the course by means of the exercises given to   them in class. There will also be a final written test similar in format   to the exercises the students are familiar with.</p>

   <p align="justify"><strong>English level required:</strong> upper-intermediate</p>

  &ldquo;Intermediate Law Skills&rdquo; &lt;Introductory Module&gt;</p>
   <p align="justify"><strong>To the student:</strong></p>
   <p align="justify">This course is devised for   students who have a good level of command of the English language and   want to take their first steps in other areas of specialised English.   Since the language of the law is different from everyday English,   students need to start the transition between reading and understanding   various types of texts and getting to know the background of this   particular area of the language. Consequently, this course is ideal as a   first, introductory course in legal English.</p>
   <p align="justify"> Students are going to read   material from various sources of information and are going to learn how   the language of the law operates by a process of incorporating the new   vocabulary and structures typical of the subject they are reading about,   which should not be confused with studying the subject in detail. The   sources include articles taken from magazines and newspapers as well as   relevant literature from coursebooks. </p>
   <p align="justify"> The syllabus for this course   is different. First, it is flexible. You will notice that there are not   many sub-topics included in the units. The reason for this is that the   teacher has the possibility to select the areas of interest for the   students as the course is in progress from the feedback he gets from the   group. Second, it is multi-purpose. Students have the chance to know   the language of the law through an appropriate introduction plus both   the vocabulary and relevant structures typical of this field.</p>
